[@MiteshJain-fq8ye]

Nice video Thank you sir

[@anilsawlekar5389]

Really nice information. Thanks.

I'm glad to learn about this Mahayana center. Theravada followers deny that Sidhartha Gautama taught Mahayana. I dream that one day ancient manuscripts are uncovered in India that tell us how Mahayana sutras were compiled, like the accounts of how Theravada sutras were compiled.

The passage of era's dealt a deadly blow such a magnificent Religion, culture ad architecture that subsequent religions Brahmanism, Islamic and Christiniaty all destroyed these gems...I am baffled n awake now. Thanks a lot sir for sharing such a treasure with us.

Thank You So Much For This Video

[@BodhisattvaTravels]

Thanks, I am glad that you liked it !! Our cities are full of hidden jewels about which we are unaware of and cannot appreciate fully. The best way to appreciate is to gain more knowledge about them. Kanheri is one such jewel that can be fully appreciated, only once we are aware of its glorious history. Visting these places gives me a totally new perspective about our history and our culture.

Is double vaccination is compulsory to visit the cave?

[@BodhisattvaTravels]

As per the latest guideline, the requirement for interstate travel is a full vaccination certificate or COVID-19 negative report from an RT-PCR test taken up to 72 hours before entering Maharashtra.

[@didierroux1547]

from Mumbai How many Kilometers is this Buddhists Caves of Kanheri ?

[@BodhisattvaTravels]

The caves are around 25 kilometres from the Mumbai Airport.

[@floptaxie68]

I hope this place may be restored and be a house of monks again😢

[@lancehobbs8012]

10:56 which side is Tara? I understood Tara to be only found in Tibetan style Buddhist tradition, and would come after this carving was made?

[@kraut1982]

I thought the caves were carved during Ashoka times and so we see Ashoka chakra on the pillars.

[@sonukuar]

Namo Budhay

[@lotlikarscollection8034]

People must watch this video..& stop writing nonsense there on cave... All must know the secret behind the beauty of kanheri!! Plse preserve it

[@BodhisattvaTravels]

So true. kanheri is a common heritage of humankind. This historical Buddhist complex must be protected and preserved.

[@karthikkarthik453]

Buddisam much more older than Hinduism

[@sanskarvsahu1375]

There is Cave 102 also . Find it ,must see

[@nikardewan1297]

As it's a historical site of Buddhism, I think, including the Church inside the cave,rights of this site should be fully handed over to Archiological Society of India.The existing church may co-exist at a seperate place on the same hill. Beside, a secured portion of the cave may be handed over to the Buddhist Society for regular worship and other rituals. Iam sure that,if properly communicated our Hon'ble PM Modi will show a right path to it.Jai Bharat.

[@floptaxie68]

Nah, the entire cave for the Buddhist society. There are plenty of churches in Portugal.

[@sithimutucumarana3449]

India was under the Persian Empire. Buddha was born and passed away in Siri Lanka.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.
